How to export the PDF pages to images in ASP.NET (classic)?

At present, there is no support to export PDF pages as images in ASP.NET (Classic). However, you can export the PDF Document pages as images by using ExportAsImage functionality available with PdfViewer.Windows as in the below code snippets.

ASPX

<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
<table width="100%" style="color: #5D6B03" border="1px">
<tr style="width: 100%; background-color: #8EA718; text-align:center">
<td >
<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click"
Text="ExportAsImage" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</asp:Content>

Default.aspx.cs 

C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName).Equals(".pdf"))
{
//locate the file path and the path the images to be saved
string imagePath = Server.MapPath("~/Images/");
//Clear the previous pdf file images from the Images folder
CleareFolder(imagePath);
//Get the pdf file stream
Stream pdfStream = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
//Create an instance of PdfViewerControl
PdfViewerControl pdfViewercontrol = new PdfViewerControl();
//Load the document in the viewer
pdfViewercontrol.Load(pdfStream);
//Export the pages of the loaded document as bitmap images
System.Drawing.Bitmap[] images = pdfViewercontrol.ExportAsImage(0, pdfViewercontrol.PageCount - 1);
int page = 0;
//Save the images in the imagepath defined earlier
foreach (System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp in images)
{
images[page].Save(imagePath + "exportedPage_" + page.ToString() + ".png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
page++;
}
}
}
/// <summary>
///Clear the Folder.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="folderName"></param>
///<return></return>
private void ClearFolder(string folderName)
{
DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(folderName);
foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in directoryInfo.GetFiles())
{
fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false;
fileInfo.Delete();
}
}
